SUMMARY:Bella's Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Bella’s Legacy 📣MATCHING DONATIONS OPPORTUNITY – up to $5000!!! 📣You MUST read about this remarkable Low Rider 💙Although we are so saddened for her passing and our hearts ache for Alexa and her family\, BELLA’s LEGACY of love lives on 🩵\n\n\n\n\n\nBella’s Legacy —Bella\, Beanie Baby\, Bella Beans\, Bopperdoodles\, Wompy—the little dachshund with a heart too big for her tiny body\, a spirit too bright for this world. \nAt only 10 weeks old\, Bella rescued her human\, Alexa\, and together\, they began a journey filled with joy\, adventure\, and love. Bella lived the BEST dachshund life! She traveled with her family\, enjoyed boating\, beach time\, and bathing by the pool. From sneaking into stores tucked in a purse to helping mom with volunteer work\, Bella was always by Alexa’s side—her right-hand girl\, her confidante\, her shadow. \nREAD FULL STORY HERE\nWith her huge personality and loving heart\, Bella was there for every major moment—from quiet vows to wild beach days\, from rescue missions to backyard joy. Her legacy lives on in every life she touched: in Jet\, who was scheduled for euthanasia but learned to RUN instead\, in the 25+ dogs she fostered\, and in the unshakable love Alexa and Ryan carry forward through their work with Low Rider. \nIn honor of this little power-house dachshund who spent her life loving and caring for other dogs in need\, we kindly request that you make a donation. Thank You for remembering Bella and for supporting the dogs of Low Rider Dachshund Rescue\, FL!  \nDouble Your Impact!\nDONATIONS MATCHED HERE\nUP TO $5000

Passes are good until December 30\, 2024!!! \nOne Ticket just $10\, 4 tickets $50\, 10 tickets $75\, 15 tickets $100! \n \nAbout Low Rider & Why We’re Raising Money!\nLow Rider Dachshund Rescue of Florida is a nonprofit\, all-volunteer organization. We’re a small organization with foster homes all over Florida. Each rescue is fully vetted and receives as needed – microchip\, vaccines\, spay or neuter\, blood and fecal tests\, heartworm meds\, other medication. Many receive life saving and life altering surgeries\, like the current dogs shown below. \n \nFebruary and March\, along with regular vet visits for Low Rider dogs\, we had major surgeries for Toby and Scarlett. April and May brings us Pattycake\, Willie\, Walker\, and Lewis. All who are in dire need of major medical treatment\, medications\, and/or surgeries. \nPattycake has had the first of two luxating patella surgeries. EACH leg surgery cost is about $3500. Pattycake is a sweetheart who is already doing well recovering from the first surgery! She will be spayed in between the two leg surgeries. She’s a young\, sweet female that would otherwise not lead a normal and pain-free life without the surgeries. \nIn the middle of April we received Willie and Walker.  \nWillie came to us paralyzed in the back and we assumed it was IVDD. However\, after his MRI we discovered he has a condition called Meningomyelitis. He is currently on medication to reduce swelling and pain while he is awaiting a physical therapy evaluation. Of course\, the therapies are not inexpensive and include water treadmill and likely laser therapy for weeks or even months. He’ll be feeling better soon and we hope to give him back the ability to walk. \nAs for Walker\, this poor soul was also evaluated by a neurologist and it was determined that he has a brain condition. An MRI was done and his condition is called Chiari’s Malformation which has made him suffer most of his 8 year life with a SPLITTING headache. The problem has created a secondary condition of spinal fluid backup called Syringomelia. There is no cure or surgery for Walker but medications will provide relief\, probably for the first time in his life! \nWhich brings us to Lewis\, who arrived on Friday JUST before he was scheduled to be euthanized at 5pm! He was a stray and is not using his back legs. We are setting up his evaluations and tests but it is believed that he may have been hit by a car and has a broken pelvis and/or leg in addition to not being able to stand. His pain is being managed and he is being well loved and cared for. We expect to learn more this week. \nOne way or another for each of these dogs\, others already in our care\, and others soon to come – the cost of evaluations and potential surgery or treatments is looming! We find ourselves at a critical low for funds due to the overwhelming amount of dogs needing our care. We are maintaining approximately 60 dogs in foster care. Some are forever fosters\, others will be adopted when they are ready. \n\nHyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort Pool Passes\nAs always\, we greatly appreciate your support and generosity! We promise to put it to good use for the dogs. Thank you for making a difference!\n4 pool passes\, 1 winner!\nThe drawing will be held at 8:00pm ET\, on May 31\, 2023 on Low Rider Dachshund Rescue FL’s main Facebook page!

SUMMARY:Christmas Miracles - Emergency Fund
DESCRIPTION:Our Christmas Miracles – Emergency Fund was born of necessity! We’ve had several life-saving emergencies in the last few weeks and that is nothing too unusual  for Low Rider. Additional emergencies were not life-threatening\, but still of the utmost importance in the lives of these dogs. When one of the Low Rider dogs is in need\, we take action. It’s because of you that we are able to! Thank you! \nYou see\, sometimes\, if we wait to raise all the funds\, the dogs who need saving right away\, well\, that just doesn’t happen. Within the past few weeks\, among MANY other dogs\, Low Rider has stepped up to take in several who were in need of emergency medical treatment. \nOur Christmas Miracles Stories\n \nTeacup – Upon intake\, was in critical condition for extreme anemia. Teacup underwent a couple of blood transfusions along with fluids\, medication\, and was admitted to the hospital. He is now recovering rapidly and doing very well with tender loving care and following the vet’s instructions. Without the immediate and decisive care that Teacup received\, he would surely not be here. He was rescued in the (St.) NICK of time – a real Christmas Miracle!  \n \nMax – Speaking of Christmas Miracles\, when Max came to us\, he had a mouth full of bad teeth\, one of which caused him to be so sick\, his fever shot up to 105%. He was in danger of becoming septic and his quick thinking foster mom rushed him to the emergency vet. There he received needed IV fluids\, and emergency medication to fight the severe infection and bring down his fever. Because his foster mommy is a vet tech\, he was able to continue getting fluids and special meds at home instead of being admitted. After being on meds for several days and becoming stable\, Max had 14 extractions to remove the infected teeth. He is recovering nicely and eating well! He woke up and licked his foster moms face. It was a little gross\, but it was a Joyful Christmas Miracle! \n \nBJ – Presented sudden extreme lethargy and unusual behavior. He could barely hold his head up! He was throwing up and was unable to stand. His foster mom rushed him to the overnight emergency. They ran tests\, including blood tests\, and determined it was anaphylactic shock\, most likely he had been bitten by something in the yard that evening. He was given the proper fluids to flush his system and medications\, then released to his foster mom who watched him closely over the next few days to make sure he was on the road to recovery. BJ is doing very well and is back to his normal self. He is back to bouncing around and being silly! We love a Christmas Miracle! \n \nCooper – Sweet and tiny\, cooper is a wonderful senior dog who generally enjoys life. He suddenly began acting different than his usual self. Of course\, his foster mom took notice and called us right away! She watched him overnight to see if it would pass\, but Cooper continued to present as exhausted\, and then became lethargic and started limping. His foster was able to get him in immediately and after x-rays\, bloodwork\, and exam\, it was determined that something is going on with his hips. He may have inflammation and arthritis flaring up and making him feel lousy. So\, he is being treated with a couple of different medications. This situation is still developing and we will know more as we find out if the meds help him feel better. We won’t let him suffer\, but if we can help him continue a quality life\, we will certainly do so – with your help. We’re hoping for Cooper’s Christmas Miracle. \n \nLia – Lia came to Low Rider with a cough and congestion. Her foster got her in to see the vet right away. She was given antibiotics for two weeks to see if there was an infection. After the time passed\, Lia continued to cough and was taken back in to the vet. They have taken her off the antibiotics and prescribed a diuretic and pain meds. She now has an appointment with a cardiologist to verify if she has fluid building around her heart. This is taking place immediately and is an evolving situation. We will be carefully making decisions and working with the vet and her foster to create a plan that is best for her. She will certainly be needing additional meds and we’re hoping the specialist will have a Christmas Miracle for Lia! \n \nSnickers – little bitty Snickers was covered with fleas and feeling really lousy. He came in with another dog that we weren’t expecting to take in\, but although he isn’t a dachshund\, we couldn’t walk away from him. Along with baths and TLC\, Snickers specifically needed medical attention. It turns out that Snickers has stage 4 kidney disease. His foster mom administers subcutaneous fluids and gives daily medications to manage the disease. He will stay put where he is until he is not enjoying life or such time that the meds are no longer working to give him relief. This is a sacrifice on the part of his foster mom\, who never hesitates to step in for a dog. Her heart is in it\, and so it will hurt. We will provide needed backup and\, because of good people like you\, Low Rider is covering the medications. The Christmas Miracle here is that Snickers is now where he can receive the care he needs to remain comfortable and enjoy every day he has. He will not suffer any longer and is enjoying this Christmas season being spoiled rotten! \n \nEmergency Fund\nThese are not nearly all the expenses we have incurred in the last few weeks\, these are some of the pressing emergencies that have come our way. The expenses from Teacup\, Max\, BJ\, and Cooper alone total $5368.43. This does not include the appointments or meds for Snickers or Lia. \nFurthermore\, we took in a total of 20 dogs in November and have already hit half of that number in the first part of December. We don’t believe the trend is going to stop any time soon. Each dog is vetted\, receives bloodwork\, vaccines\, microchip\, dental exam and cleaning if in terrible shape. They are spayed or neutered as needed. Many require medications for temporary illness or to help with an ongoing one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are all volunteers. Foster homes are used to house the dogs. With very little overhead\, most of every dollar goes directly to provide for and save the dogs. Won’t you please help? \nThose who donate $50 or more become an official Low Rider Member! Don’t worry\, you can give any amount you’d like. Everything counts when creating Christmas Miracles. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThank you\, once again for your generosity and truly embracing the spirit of the holiday season. You’re helping to create Christmas Miracles – Merry Christmas!  \n  \nDonate
